The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion

What is this?  This is the Skin Clearing Lotion(Moisturizer) in Tea Tree range from The Body Shop. I'm not a fan of the body shop, I only use their body shampoo and massage oil before which is a gift from my relatives. Recently went to the shop just to buy some gift for my mum :) And the promoter says if I buy RM10 more then I can have a free gift which is the body butter. So... Rm10 only.. why not? And this is the product she introduce to me. A moisturizer for oily skin. Its like a sample size and only cost RM10. Nice! Cheap and small... I can try before buying a big tube of it. So I decided to try on this product!

Review:

  • Price : RM 42.00 for 50ml at normal price. It's having discounted price at RM33.60 now. (I think this is cheap if its good :D)
  • This is the sample size I bought which is 15ml. That's more than enough for me to try ~
  • Its actually a gel type which I think its suitable for oily skin.
  • Heavy Tea Tree smells. If you dislike that smell, please don't get this LOL
  • Not Oily! After apply the skin feels very refresh but not sticky or oily like cream or lotion type do.
  • I apply using my toned cotton pad. Feels my skin tighten after the lotion fully absorb into my skins.
  • Pores minimizing? hmm.. just a little bit. Not much different
  • Oil-Control, YES! but for my super oily face of course will still oily after few hours la...
  • For me, moisturizer if not suitable for me skin always make my skin over moisturized and grow blemish.(Super hate that because after that I will throw away that moisturizer). That's why I seldom simply try on different moisturizer. But this Body shop moisturizer works fine on my face ! :D Happy to found a new moisturizer that suitable to my skin~ and I think this is sooo worth for its price ^^

The Lilac Box - Concept box H2O Plus September 2013

Here I had received my another beauty box~ This is the Concept Box from Thelilacbox I purchased on last Saturday (7th September 2013). For girls who never purchase concept box from them before, let me explain to you what a concept box is ^^

It is actually a box which contains all products from the same brand instead of mixing brand product like the Lilac box 1 - 4. And this box is actually having 10 products from the brand named " h2O+ ". This box only cost me for RM58 for all the 10 products! although some of them are small in sizes, but its really worthy that you can try on so many type of product before purchasing the actual size. And you just have to pay for rm58 =) Its better than you buy a actual size for more or less 100 bucks and then only you found out the product actually not suitable for you then freeze it in your cabinet right :D

Anyway I just loved beauty box so much! ^^

Here we go unboxing this h2O+ concept box!
  
Courier by GDEX too ^^  nice packing!

Protected with a thick cardboard ^^

And this is the box!~ Nice ribbon neh~ I simply like to keep their ribbons ^^

All 10 item in a box! *eyes drooling* ...:D From my understanding of the product specification provide by lilac box website, I found that the blue color product is in 'Oasis' range which is more focus on normal to dry skin. The purple color's are 'Aqualibrium' range which are more concern on combination to oily skin. However the silvers are 'Total Source' range which concern on anti-aging and grey color's product are from 'Waterwhite' range which focus on brightening. I prefer to have the purple's product more~ but only have 2 this time :(

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Even Finish Liquid Foundation SPF 15

Recently found on the forums, quite a number of people review that this Bobbi Brown Long Even Finish Foundation is good for a oily skin. The product itself claims that it is a long lasting liquid foundation, and its doing a very good job in oil control. So I decided to give this a try on my super oily skin! ^^ 

Review:

  • Price : RM 160.00 on October 2013. Not cheap but still acceptable if its good :)
  • Wide range in color to best match with skin tone (Camera can't show the color well, you can go to any Bobbi Brown counter and they will choose the color for you. I went to Pavilion outlets, the people there are so kind to explain to me and help me choosing the color. ^^  I had tested with 4 shades on my chin and finally I got my color - 'Natural Tan'. )
Left : Before                    ;                    Right : After
Skin Preparation: Clarins toner, Sothys Moisturizer, Biore sunscreen.
  •  Not easy to blend, as I tap a dot on my skin and try to blend(using finger), it can goes only like 1 inch further. 
  • Excellent coverage. You can see from the picture, the dark circle on my eye bags are hiding up ^^ I apply only the foundation without any concealer.
  • Create even skin tone. This should be obvious on the picture. The shades are same like my skin, but without all the darker spots or uneven color.
  • Texture are sticky. (Not so prefer...) I can feel my face so sticky oily after apply. But when I finish with a thin layer of loose powder then its fine.
  • Light weight on the skin. Love this! It's so thin on the skin. Won't feel like my skin being block.
  • Oil-Control is so so only...I still need to bolt 3-4 times with tissue in a day. Can't feel any difference.
  • Very long lasting, after a day work and its still there.
